Optical combiners for AR
Unique benefits
Excellent CD and profile control
Waveguide technology is a promising approach to deliver high Field of View (FOV) for immersive AR experience. Surface Relief Gratings (SRG) enables light coupling into waveguide combiners and are critical for controlling the efficiency of the combiner. Years of innovation enables us to produce market leading uniformity over 200 mm wafers.
Patented grid designs to allow uniform large-area angled etch capability for specific etch angles Unique uniformity optimisation capability for any angle of etch feature using innovative Oxford Instruments technology Unique large-area cost-effective angled etch capability
